I modified the source code to cut the EAW world in half, with a 320x320 tile grid instead of 640x320.
Then I made a program to make a modified eaw.tm file by reading the first 320 bytes of each line and saving them to a new file.
It worked
The height map was wrong, but that could be adjusted

I just wanted to know if this was possible, and it is. A flexible exe is possible also- the sizes could be read from a file.

The reason behind the experiment is to check out the possibility of using a reduced area for online games. The EAW world is enormous with a heap of unused space. It is fine for the progress of an entire war, but maybe too large for online battling.

Makes a change from trains anyway

I played with this idea of a reduced sized world for EAW scenarios. The China scenario which Flyright and I worked on is played in a laid out space about a quarter of the size of the EAW world. I thought then that most scenarios don't need the whole EAW space.
